FIRST TEN YEARS GRADUATED QKLTE 'fs -A 2 . JLTVE- .- -- 'J O u R TO w N X There has been much progress made in E DeKalb since the early days when the Porta- - watomie Indians roamed along the east bank of the Kishwaukee across Pershing Park. X On the college campus to the west is a marker erected by the DeKalb Historical Society. This marks one of the early trails formerly used by the well beloved friend of ,- 5 the pioneer, Chief Shabbona. For many years, Kapos, a famous Porta- watomie chief, counselled with his followers on the North First Street road at Coltonville. Here too, the trio of famed Americans, Abra- ham Lincoln, Zachary Taylor, Jefferson Davis, flater presidentsj , General Albert Sidney John- ston, and General Robert Anderson discussed war plans. Our town was originally begun two miles north of here, on the First Street road at Col- tonville by the pioneers, John Collins and Ss Norman Moore, in the spring of 1835. There X--X 69 were a number of papooses found suspended from the branches of trees. It was in this year, NZ- too, that the United States troops acted as escorts to the redmen. J7- It was fortunate for this city that Rufus Colton and Phineas Stevens, both men of property, should locate here, for it is to their credit that a store, blacksmith shop and a post office soon appeared. Rufus Colton built a hostelry, the most pre- tentious building in the entire country, for many years. A number of settlers decided that a site two miles south of here would be preferable to this one and so began our home town. It was then called Buena Vista, in honor of one of the most important battles of the Mexican war, which at that time was very vivid in the memory of each inhabitant. The first school house was built in 1850. A new arrival in 1851 would have found a population of less than a score and ten. Some of the places of business which began to appear were a log hotel built by Joseph Glidden, and a tailor shop by John Jones. One of the early law advisers was Elias G. Gilbert. Because of their great desire to have the Northwestern railroad come through the town, many people gave splendid donations to the road as well as the right of way. Early in the town,s progress the inhabitants in 1853 built a second school house where the Congre- gational Church now stands. DE KALB WAS ORGANIZED IN 1850 AS A TOWNSHIP .... DE KALB TOWNSHIP WAS 378 STUDENTS .... DEPORTMENT WAS FORMERLY MARKED A-B-C-D. . To answer the desire for fraternal societies, the Masonic and Odd Fellow lodges were organized in 1854. The devout adherents of the Methodist and Baptist churches built little places of worship in 1854. In '58, the Swedish Lutherans built a place of worship. Two years later the Catholics built a church. By 1859, people in DeKalb and vicinity were reading their first newspaper. The Honorable F. Glidden in '74 obtained a patent on barb wire. Jacob Haish was the strongest rival of the Glidden interests. Colonel I. L. Ellwood became F. Glidden,s partner. They manufactured Glidden wire which became of great use. Mr. Glidden sold his share of the business to his partner, Mr. Ellwood. Through the generosity of many citizens, Glid- den Memorial hospital began to serve the public in 1922. St. Mary's is another well-equipped hospital opened in 1922 by the Catholic Church. DeKalb has its golf course, and a well-equipped club house. The grounds are located in a sixty acre tract purchased from the Ellwood estate. The Northern Illinois State Teachers College is another one of DeKalb's great assets which was begun as a normal school in 1895. The DeKalb Township High School has further heightened the fame of DeKalb as an educational center. The students of 1923 had the privilege of being the first ones benefited by a new addition to the old building. In 1903 the Glidden school was built. The Ellwood grade school, 1ocated in the northeastern part of the city was built in 1907 and 1908. The Haish school is located at South Ninth and Frank- lin Streets and was ready for use in 1908. St. Mary's school building was built in 1915. DeKalb has a most artistically designed library building. The first band is almost as old as the town itself. In 1916 it went with the local militia to the Mexican border. As a place to live we wholeheartedly commend it to any one. We are proud of its merits and hope that every member of D. T. H. S. will have a share in upholding its high ideals.

S. MR. R. G. BEALS Superintendent of DeKalb Township High School Mr. R. G. Beals, superintendent of our school has had an extensive course in the edu- cational field. When first beginning his career he taught in rural schools in Hamilton County, Indiana. He continued his work with a posi- tion as principal in the small town of Arcadia, Indiana. After this, he spent a year of study at Indiana University following which he was principal and superintendent successively in Sheridan, Indiana. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in the spring of 1909 he became head of the English department in Decatur High School, Decatur, Illinois. He again at- tended Indiana University where he taught English and Public Speaking. He received his Masters of Arts degree in 1909. The next year he returned to Decatur and again resumed his position as head of the English department. He remained there for three years. He has con- tinued to advance in education by attending summer schools at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois. Mr. Beals was principal of the township high school in Taylorville, Illinois until in 1922 when he became superintendent of DeKalb Township High School. He has remained here since that time. Mr. Beals is a loyal citizen in so much as he is not only interested in school work but takes an active part in community affairs. He is an active member of many prominent organ- izations. He is a former president of the Ro- tary Club, president of the DeKalb County Teachers' Association, president of the high school section of the State Teachers' Associa- tion, president of the County High School R. G. BEALS Association, and last year was president of Rock River division of the Illinois State Teachers' Associa- tion. He is a member of the Judd Club, a member of the County Administrative Organization, a mem- ber of the Committee of Public Relations of the National Department of Superintendence, and a member of the Schoolmasters' Club. DeKalb Township High School appreciates the splendid work of Mr. Beals in our community. DE KALB AT ONE TIME HAD THE NAME OF BUENA VISTA ....

DOMESTIC fl l CUIUYUHUIS Nllws Ellvndore Lampton Miss Dorothy Barclwell M L C C l' r. . ,. .0 vln ENGLISH Today a department of English is of more vital importance than it has ever been. Economically, the man or woman who would be successful in any chosen profession must be able to use his language effectively so that those who listen or read the material which he has spoken or written will understand more readily what he desires. English is of utmost importance for the future career of youth. This is exemplified in leaders in any type of work as in finance, commerce or industry. It is neces- sary for the leader to be able to skilfully use oral language. One of the objectives of the Eng- lish department is to teach the stu- dent to express himself clearly and to acquire such a knowledge that he can understand correctly what others say. l Another objective is the use of good grammar. The student is familiarized with using the correct form so that it will enable him to use the proper grammatical forms naturally. An additional phase of the de- partment of English is to train in- telligent youth to become workmen in the art of good writing. Success depends largely on the pupil's own energy and interest. One of the problems is to find which phases of thought and experience de- serve expression. It may be just a character study of some person known about the home town, some foreign quarter or, perhaps, the heroism of some one. In the study of English the student is read- ing some of the most famous works of liter- ature from the earliest time to the present day. In this process of studying the student at- tains a greater appreciation for the author's slcill in the mastery of the English language, and like- wise acquires a taste for reading the best literature. The study of American literature as an elective is needed to present the ideals of American life for no literature can take the place of ours. Our literature is characteristically developed and thus conveys a message of its own to the world in the changed environment and the varying problems and ideals of American life. Three years of English are requiredg a fourth in American literature is optional. This depart- ment is very capably and successfully conducted by the following instructors: Miss Ellendore Lampton, Miss Dorothy Bordwell, Miss Charlotte Cummings, Miss Gertrude Greeley, Mrs. Bertha Rutledge and Mr. L. C. Colvin. MENT IN DEKALB TOWNSHIP WAS MADE ON SECTION ONE, COMMONLY SCIENCE AND ART WERE INTRODUCED TO THE HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM. lNlr. XV. T. Emery Nlr. T. Moss Mr. XV. H, Beaumont NIL W' O SCIENCE The courses of natural and physical sciences give the student an understanding of the im- portance of scientific knowledge as well as a comprehension of the composition of different materials in our environment. It teaches the pupil to know and appreciate the importance of science in our everyday life, the relationship of materials to each other and the effect produced when mixed or blended. Mr. W. T. Emery directs our chemistry depart- ment. Chemistry is offered to juniors and seniors. The laboratory is used twice weekly by each class. The pupil in the laboratory is able to experiment and thus to see and experience some of the marvels of science. In Mr. Emery's chemistry classes projects and posters are made by the pupils after experimental work. Physics, which is a study of mechanics, light, heat, electricity and sound is under the direction of Mr. W. H. Beaumont. The purpose of the course is to enlighten the student in the held of natural laws. Mr. Beaumont's classes study many interesting projects. Some of the more important are moving pictures, magnetism and electric motors. General Science is taken by freshmen. Its aims are many. It broadens the pupils' knowl- edge of the body, and of elementary law necessary to the welfare of the individual and community. In class there are experiments with different ma- terials. From the experiments are evolved the reasons for the certain reaction, the conclusion and the practical application. Mr. T. Moss and Mr. W. H. Beaumont are the general science instructors. Mr. Moss takes each of his classes out on trips to factories, for instance, the American Steel Company and the Wurlitzer Piano Factory. A trip to the disposal plant is one which supplies valuable information for the pupil to acquire. Mr. W. S. Oberlin instructs the biology course which intends to acquaint the pupil with animal and plant life together with the further study of the human body. Here observation is neces- sary on the part of the pupil. During the course some time is devoted to projects. This is a devia- tion from the textbook study and proves interest- ing as well as valuable. The student selects his own subject on which to make his project and gathers pictures and material pertaining to it. This gives the pupil an abundance of knowledge about the subject upon which he chooses to write. Posters are made portraying some partic- ular subject and explaining about it in order that it may be comprehended by the rest of the class. KNOWN AS COLTONVILLE .... THE FIRST SETTLERS OF DE KALB TOWNSHIP WERE SEPTEMBER, 1908 .... CONVOCATIONS WERE FORMERLY CALLED GENERAL M. Furr Mr. J. H. Trees VOCATIONS Courses continuing throughout three years in the industrial arts department are offered at our school. The first year manual training, to- gether with mechanical drawing, is taken. The second year printing is available while the third year auto mechanics is offered. Manual training and mechanical drawing teach the students to handle and understand the use of tools needed for such work. Several things are made by the student during the year such as chairs, tables, desks and cedar chests. In planning and working out these products with his own initiative the student develops confidence to work on larger things in life. At the same time he ex- periences failures and successes. The pupil learns to correct mistakes and at least to bring out a fin- ished product of which he is proud. Self-reliance is an important trait developed by industrial arts. Each year an exhibit is held at a P. T. A. meeting at which time is shown the best work produced by the boys throughout the year. The manual training room takes on the aspect of a furniture store at this time. The subject is taught by Mr. Ralph Wilson and Mr. James H. Trees. Two years of manual training are offered. Printing acquaints the pupil with the principles of typography. During the year the class pro- vides forms of all sorts for school use. Tickets and programs for dances are set up and printed by the classes, as well as posters for advertising. Printing teaches the student the essentials of bal- ance and the art of composing. It also requires a marked degree of accuracy. Mr. Paul Winters teaches the printing classes. Auto mechanics is under the supervision of Mr. james Trees. Auto mechanics is offered to ac- quaint the pupil with the technical knowledge of the automobile and also to stimulate an interest in it as well as to bring out the importance and value of automobiles. During the course, ma- chines in the auto mechanics room are thoroughly gone over and adjusted. The student learns the correct methods of care and repair of automobiles. Vocational agriculture is an important part of our curriculum. This department is an unusually successful one. Several banners are won each year for the school through the judging teams. Three years of agriculture is offered. The whole course is under the supervision of Mr. Paul Furr. The objectives of vocational agriculture are: To create a love of country life, to prepare students for cultivation and disposal of agricultural pro- ducts, and to encourage recreational and edu- cational activities in vocational agriculture. The freshmen make a thorough study of the soil and crops. Experimenting with the different soils and learning to discriminate between rich and poor soils is part of the work. The sophomores study animal husbandry. Contests of judging animals make this interesting. The juniors and seniors spend the year studying poultry and dairying. This is a valuable course for any boy planning to be a farmer. Nlr. R. L. Wilson hir. P. J. Winters JOHN B. COLLINS AND NORMAN G. MOORE .... IN 1874 J. F. GLIDDEN RECEIVED ASSEMBLY AND WERE HELD DAILY .... IN 1900 DEKALB HIGH SCHOOL HAD SOCIAL SCIENCE Two required subjects, American history and world history, together with two elective sub- jects, civics and economics, make up the social science department. American history is taught by Miss Gertrude Ady, and is studied with the use of a manual. A variation in presentation, by reading from books other than the pupil's text, makes the subject mat- ter more interesting. World history is under the direction of Miss jeann Sohner, Miss Gertrude Ady, and Mr. Merlin Raddatz. The studying of this work by epochs makes it easier for the student to grasp all the material. Economics is the study of man and his attempts to make a living. Taxes, tariffs and banking are studied. Civics is the study of our government and its functions. These two subjects are taught by Miss Etta Larson and Miss Gertrude Ady. Miss G COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The underlying purpose of the commercial department is to prepare the student for an im- mediate entry into business. To this end, several courses are offered: stenography and typing, taught by Miss Mina Bearhope and Miss Madge- line Belts, bookkeeping and commercial arithme- tic under Miss Etta Larsong commercial geog- raphy under Mr. L. C. Colvin. The methods of studying typing and shorthand are much the same. After a student has com- pleted the two year course in each of these subjects he or she is well-fitted for a position in the modern business ofhce. Bookkeeping, a one year course, is devoted to the study of bookkeeping methods and provides a thorough knowledge of the principles of ac- counting. Commercial arithmetic teaches the practical application of the principles of arithmetic, and commercial geography deals with geography from the economic standpoint.

IN 1883 THERE WAS ONE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE .... THE D.T.H.S. BAND WON FIRST PLACE IN THE STATE CONTEST M A Raddatz Mr. Ed Chenette MUSIC Evidently believing earnestly in the old adage The man who hath no music in his soul is lit for treason, stratagem and spoils the students of D. T. H. S. have by their achievements and ac- tivity in this field of work made the D. T. H. S. music department one of the largest and most active in school. In order to rake care of the talents and desires of our student body a variety of musical subjects are included in our musical program. All of the vocal work, which includes the mixed chorus, quartets, boys' and girls' glee club, is directed by Mr. Merlin Raddatz. One of the principal benefits of such instruction is a sense of poise and co-ordination as well as self-confi- dence, which the student receives. Mr. Raddatz also directs the classes in music appreciation, harmony, and music history. In these closely allied subjects the students learn to appreciate good music and to know why it is good. They discuss the masterpieces of great composers and read of the advancement of music. Our excellent D. T. H. S. band is directed by Mr. Ed Chenette. Here participants work on the best music and receive instruction in an almost unlimited field of instruments. The contest spirit helps the members to work for a definite goal and take pride in being a member of good standing in such an organization. Perhaps the greatest value of musical training of this type is the knowledge gained of how to spend our leisure time properly and enjoyably, for after all, one of the most important things to be gained from any education is the ability to help a person to make good use of his leisure time. Mr. Chenette also instructs the orchestra, which gives those who wish to display their talents in the stringed instruments an opportunity to do so under the best conditions. So we see in a final summary our music de- partment offers: l. Competent instruction in both vocal and instrumental music, to all who desire it. 2. Courses in music appreciation, music his- tory, and harmony. 3. Benefits are gained from this instruction in poise, confidence and co-ordination, as well as knowledge of music received in the course of in- struction. 4. Experience gained from contest work of the various departments, experience which well proves useful in the musical work later in life. ART The first semester of art work was spent in making Christmas projects, which included trays, Christmas cards, lamp shades, and ivorine ob- jects. During the second semester the class was di- vided into two groups, the commercial art group, and the art metal craft group. The art metal group planned and carried out projects of metal.

Q GROVE TO DEKALB IS NOW FIRST STREET .... THE FIRST DEKALB SCHOOL JANE ADDAMS GAVE THE COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS IN 1908 .... EVAR SWAN- FOREIGN LANGUAGES The foreign language department of D. T. H. S. offers to the student body a variety of the most useful languages usually given in any high school work. In our Latin work we get not only a broad cul- tural value, but also receive much training which will prove valuable in almost any branch of science. Miss Edith T. Wentworth has charge of the Latin work. We not only learn much Roman history, but we get a background or base to assist us in almost any branch of science which we care to enter. The romance languages and German are of practical value as well as cultural value. By tak- ing various languages a new field of literature, business, and science is opened to us. We sud- denly see unfolded before us the interlocking structure of many languages. We also see how many of our own words are slightly modified de- rivatives of European terms. Archaeology, advertising, army service, art dealer, banking, bookselling, communications, customs service, detective work, diplomacy, dra- matic art, dressmaking, engineering, exploration, foreign government work, medicine, nursing, radio announcer, scientific work and many others are fields where languages are of material help. In our school Spanish, German and French are taught by Miss Minnie Jones, Spanish by Miss Marguerite Carnalg and one class in French by Miss Irma Wittke. Miss Minnie Jones Miss Helen McDougall Mis, Cath HOME ECONOMICS Through the study of home economics gen- eral prosperity may be advanced. Much of the present aversion to household duties would vanish if women were more ade- quately prepared for them. Foods is one of the important studies taught in the home economics department. The in- fluence of food is inestimable for the very life of the individual depends upon his nourishment. Unless he has proper food he lacks the capacity for doing his work efliciently. Clothing requires thoughtful study and intelli- gent training. Clothing should not only protect but should be a pleasing, becoming style with color emphasizing individuality. The homemaking course deals with the home from the points of view of the relationship of the family group, home selection, furnishing, decora- tion, and home management. This department is directed by Miss Helen McDougall and Miss Catherine Dennis. Sk , TEACHER WAS JONATHAN STONE ....

Emery E dna XVolf MATHEMATICS Mathematics is a very essential part of a school curriculum. Without mathematics our civiliza- tion would undoubtedly collapse. Mathematics is the backbone of the theory of electricity, steam, and several materials essential to our comfort in living. Mathematics is taught to develop an apprecia- tion of its contributions to science and inventions. In the study of it neatness, accuracy, and ability to work independently are developed. The stu- dent learns to analyze, to discriminate between right and wrong, to right- the wrong and to apply the right. One of the most important benefits derived is that of reasoning logically and straightly. Mathematics is a subject to be understood and not memorized. To understand the theory of problems is much better than to memorize and not comprehend clearly. Practice has a great part in learning to compute rapidly. To master mathe- matics the student must understand thoroughly the principle of the certain phase of mathematics which he is study- ing. The more important and valu- able result of the study of mathe- matics, other than the ones men- tioned, is the fact that it exempli- fies very clearly, simply, and typi- cally, trends of thought which are of the greatest importance to everyone. Some of the minor functions of mathematics are: for cultivating the habit of self-scrutiny and self-correction, in cultivating the power of con- centration, the use of a symbolic language and in the development of the imagination. Algebra is taken the first year. This is not an elective subject. All freshmen must talce algebra. Algebra is taught by Miss Edna Wolf, Miss Dorothy Stookey, Mr. E. O. Hoppe, Mr. W. T. Emery and Mr. O. I. Leach. Geometry is taken by sophomores. This too is an obligatory course. Geometry is taught by Miss Edna Wolf, Miss Dorothy Stoolcey, Mr. E. O. Hoppe and Mr. O. I. Leach. The advanced courses in mathematics which are offered are: advanced algebra, solid geometry trigonometry and commercial arithmetic. These advanced studies are one semester courses. These courses are really an eye opener to what can be done with mathematics. In advanced algebra and trigonometry a study is made of logarithms which are very essential to higher mathematics. In commercial arithmetic many short methods of addition, multiplication, division and subtraction are taught. Mr. E. O. Hoppe teaches trigonometry, solid geometry, and ad- vanced algebra. Miss Etta Larson teaches com- mercial arithmetic. THE COW PATH USED IN TAKING STOCK FROM TOWN TO WATER AT THE FIRST DEKALB HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WHO GRADUATED A SENIOR CLASS. LIBRARY The students of DeKalb Township High School are very fortunate in attending a school so well equipped with such a modern library. Admittance to the library is gained by library passes issued by the instructors for open periods. Ir is under the supervision of Miss Irma Wittke. She has a number of pupils who are in- terested in library work to assist her. These pupils are taught valuable information concern- ing the library by Miss Wittke. The library provides collateral reading for all studies. Many hours are spent there searching for reference books, for material for reports and themes. It also affords pleasure in as much as it has so many attractive and worthwhile fiction books. This year the library is even more attractive as the Class of '33 left money to secure needed books. These books were selected by Miss Jeann Sohner, adviser of the Class of '33 and Miss Wittke. Among these books we have the recent works of leading authors and the classics which will always have their place in the library. The books are arranged on the shelves by the decimal system of classification. This simplifies the finding of books for pupils. Some of the most pleasant and valuable hours in D. T. H. S. are those which we spent in the library. Much valuable in- formation can be gained through the many in- teresting and educational magazines found in our library. These maga- zines give the students a splendid opportunity for reference and recrea- tional purposes. Miss Irma Wittke NIL E. H. Drew Niiss Lili Jh PHYSICAL EDUCATION One of the more popular courses is the exten- sive and varied physical education program car- ried out at D. T. H. S. Mr. Earl Drew is instructor of the boys' gym work. Four years of physical education work are required, unless the student is a participant in one of the major sports of the school. One of the most important things resulting from gym work, besides body building, is the spirit of co-operation instilled in the students. As health is of course the primary aim of these classes, only those activities which tend to build up health are offered. One day the students may engage in exercises, another in practicing the fundamentals of basket- ball, wrestling, volleyball or boxing, thus we see the student gains a playing knowledge of several different sports, all of which are healthful. Girls' gym work is directed by Miss Lillian Johnson, who has charge of all the girls' classes. Here the requirements are the same as in the boys' department, namely, four years of work, two days a week, one in swimming, the other in the gym. Besides such sports as basketball, volleyball, and indoor baseball, games, stunts and various forms of dances are included in the girls' gym room. As with the boys' department, here again, teamwork and good sportsmanship are the high- est aims of the course. KISHWAUKEE .... THE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL WAS ESTABLISHED AT A SENIORS OF 1934 ,M gr- ,,gM 1. - -LM Myl- Q- 4.5 Q' C' - Marguerite Carnal Senior Adviser 'E-- ,.,.. To Miss Marguerite Carnal, our class ad- viser, the senior class of 1934 wishes to express their appreciation for her painstaking efforts and willingness to aid us whenever in difficul- ties throughout our junior and senior years. Without Miss Carnal, our class would never have attained that high goal wished for by all members of the class. She was ever occupied with the class organization at the beginning of the year, the senior promenade, the senior class play, and the graduation exercises, which make up a very busy senior year. She has given un- tiringly and unselfishly, and thus has gained the loyal support and admiration of the entire class. The junior officers of the class of 1934 be- gan the activities of this excellent class last year. They were: president, Mike Rocheg vice-president, Alyne Jenseng secretary, Vega Norrbyg treasurer, Neilo Koskig sergeant-at- arms, Paul Blair. They acted as the nominat- ing committee to select the officers for the year of 1934 when the class, composed of 146 mem- bers was organized at the beginning of the year. The nominees were: for president, Gilbert Frey and Larry Keegang for vice-president, Mariann Swanson and Evelynne jacobsong secretary, Carol Montgomery and Elsie Peurag treasurer, Marjorie Beals and Neilo Koskig and sergeant-at-arms, Howard Eychaner and Carl White. The class election took place during the first part of October. The results which were made public at a later meeting were: president, Larry Keegang vice-president, Evelynne jacobsong secretary, Elsie Peurag treasurer, Neilo Koskig and sergeant-at-arms, Carl White. We wish to thank the oflicers of this class, who have so successfully led us through our last two years. All are needed by each one, Nothing is fair or good alone.

The seniors have spent much time in raising money, by means of candy sales, concessions at both football and basketball games, as well as sponsoring sunset dances at various intervals during the school year. Then too, orange and black pencils were sold on which was printed the basketball schedule for the l933-34 season. During the second semester came the problem of choosing the cast for the annual senior class play. In the spring came the annual senior picnic, for which committees were chosen and work begun to plan for the picnic which was held in the latter part of May. Reminiscing over our high school days, wherein we worked and played together, we find it no easy task to think of departing from the beloved halls of D. T. H. S. where we have become so attached and have spent many happy hours. From green to greener fields we go where we know other opportunities await us, if only we shall go in search of them.

Unlike previous years the dance was held at the beginning of the school year rather than in the spring. This plan was adopted to prevent too much social activity during the final weeks of school. The gymnasium was tastefully decorated in fall colors-shades of yellow, brown and lavender. A canopy of autumn leaves was over the entire gym ceiling. Garden furniture was placed around the wall so that onlookers might enjoy themselves. Programs for the dance were in the shape of autumn leaves. committee the night of decorating for the prom In order that the class might economize with their funds the fruit frappe was made by a com- mittee composed of members of the class. The grand march of the prom was led by Lawrence Keegan and Elsie Peura. The two classes were honored at the dance by the presence of Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Spickerman, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Colvin, Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Rutledge and Miss Catherine Dennis, as chaper- ones, while the guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. R. G.

CHARLES ABBOTT, a newcomer, came from Malta with his friend Chuck', Pease. Both spend much time on their Ford. ANTONIA ANDERSON, gayly Hitting hither and yon, is seldom found without a crowd around her for she is either entertaining her friends or waving hair. DOROTHY ANDERSON is looking forward to being a nurse some day. Her sweet personality and striking clothes are a marked as- set to any school. MARIAN ANDERSON is a guaranteed cure for the blues and can she sing them! Swede's famous smile has won her many friends. A senior who takes school seriously at least one tenth of the time but who gets along famously is NATHAN ANNAS. Like all other pressmen we find Nathan busy not only with his hands but with his tongue. THEODORE BABCOX doesnit let his studies worry him and yet he is faithful when it comes to identifying Kalibre pictures. Ted was a member of the heavy- weight football squad his junior year. He was in many activities. See Who's Who. One of our seniors who will undoubtedly become a suc- cessful actress is -IEANNETTE BALLOU as she has appeared in dramatic art work here through- out her four years. She was chosen as Mary Christmas , the townis most popular girl this year. GLADYS BACKUS came to DeKalb, this year and has made many friends. We are glad you came Gladys. LA VERLE BARNES is a firm believer in the old maxim Silence is golden. He is one of the smallest members in the class. He has been a member of our band for the last three years. His sister LAVERNA BARNES is quite the opposite, being a firm be- liever in woman's right to speak. Laverna is an- other of the class beauty culturists. MARJORIE BEALS, an ardent art pupil is likewise interested in English and journalism. She was a faithful worker on the Kalibre. For PAUL BLAIR life holds no problems-only joy. Wherever we find him, we find merriment. He was a member of our heavyweight basketball team his junior year but could not participate his senior year because he was a nine semester man. WHO WAS GRADUATED IN 1882 ISA WELL KNOWN JURIST .... JACOB THE DEKALB TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1903 .... IN 1923 DONALD BLAZEVICH has spent four years participating in our athletic field. He was cap- tain of the '32 and '33 basketball teams and also acted as temporary coach during Mr. Drew's ab- sence this year. PAUL BROWMAN was an important member of our football team. His future hopes are to continue in the athletic world. CHARLOTTE BROWN is an expert cook who is capable of illustrating her ability. Charlotte is also very musical and is a member of the D. T. H. S. band. She hails from Malta. NEWELL BURROWS, a chemistry wizard who is slow but sure. Newell is one of few words but what little is said means much. The companionship of girls has never been cultivated by Newell. HERBERT CARLSON takes his school life so very seriously. He is a firm believer that silence is best. RAY CARLSON is a serious senior who is emerging from a successful hibernation. He was on the basketball squad his last year. DONALD CARR should be a decorator because of his great help in decorating for the prom. He entered DeKalb High School from Cortland in his junior year. He played one year on the foot- ball team and one year on the basketball. From Cortland comes EARL CARR whose favorite subject is English, but who intends to be one of our future farmers. Earl took part in intramural basketball both his junior and senior years. Earl is very quiet in the hall but it is rumored that he makes up for it in Ag class. Anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing ROSE CIPRI- ANI can prove that her attentions are divided between school and the future. Rosie,', as she is known to her intimate friends, finds something interesting every hour of the day. Although small in stature, ARLEEN CULVER is one of the most outstanding members in our class. Ir is understood that she believes in having a good time during her summer vacations. Discipline is Arleen's greatest problem in the library third hour. What would the Forensic Club do with- out EARL DONAHOE? Earl was often scolded for using abbreviations in English and in agri- cultural papers. ELEANOR EDEN believes in having a good time. She spent her first year in Shabbona, her second in Sycamore, and the last two years at D. T. H. S. SUMMER SCHOOL BEGAN .... THE CLASS OF 1924 WAS THE FIRST CLASS TO Any task FRANCES ELLIS undertakes is cer- tain to be done well. She is here, there and every- where, always ready to lend a helping hand to those who are in need of it. MARIAN ESTA- BROOK is the tall, slender girl whom we are so happy to have in our classes, and who seems to be happy to be with us as she is always smil- ing. Look in either physics or chemistry labora- tory and you'll see HOWARD EYCHANER. Maybe you might find him in the Barb room counting the money collected from advertisements in the Barb. He is also interested in a girl who has just entered our school. Wonder who? EILEEN FAIVRE enjoys cooking better than her other studies, a good chance for someone who relishes good food. If you're looking for informa- tion on farming, ask CHARLES FARLEY. He also likes to argue and for this reason is enter- ing the speaking contest of Future Farmers. Chuck is also well posted on automobiles and loves to look up reports on them. From Malta comes EDITH FINNESTAD. We wish she could have been with us four years instead of one. She is a very quiet girl in the classroom but likes to spend her leisure time at the piano. A very active member of our class is GILBERT FREY. He proves this by his activity in basket- ball. Good grades. Gib,' is very well liked by all his classmates and even the teachers speak well of him. That's a true compliment, Gib,'. The neatest senior in school is RUTH GERING who always looks very immaculate and very at- tractive as well. When Ruth smiles at her friends they feel their hearts turn over. CURTIS GINCK,S eastern way of pronouncing words is delightful, yet quite different. He has a keen sense of humor. Ask him to tell you a story. Everyone who knows PHYLLIS GONTER- MAN enjoys her friendship for she is a noble all-around girl and a willing helper. Phyllis likes to distribute the absence slips to the teachers. From Steward we have the welcome addition to our school of VIVIAN GOVIG. A's in Chem- istry are quite the thing for Vivian, One of our more sedate seniors is MILDRED GUTESHA who enjoys typing and has ably assisted in preparation of Kalibre copy. NEWSPAPER WAS ESTABLISHED IN DE KALB IN 1859 .... SIMON JOHNSON GRADUATE IN THIS PRESENT BUILDING .... THE CLASS OF '34 WILL GRADUATE LUCILLE HAGMAN, an attractive auburn haired girl, is interested mainly in dramatics and the Barb. Her A's in French are always in evidence. To parlez-vous must be great joy to Lucille. JEAN HAUMESSER is quiet and a little bashful which is quite a novelty in these days. No more willing helper can be found around school. Determined ROGER HAYES is a valuable student, and especially was this seen in debating and in football. What would the seniors do without Roger finding out the news? He could learn more unusual things and was al- ways delighted to tell them through the lips of Iggy , LOIS HERRICK is gifted with a pleas- ing voice and a lovely personality. Her blues singing makes any party just complete. Lately she has been paying a great deal of attention to our basketball games. We wonder why? MARJORIE HILAND, whom we expect to be married in a few years, is just brimming over with fun. There's never a dull moment with Mar- jorie around. ETHEL HOLDERNESS thinks it's fun to go to school. She gets joy out of her studies as well as extra curriculum activities. Ask Ethel for information about Sycamore! RUTH HOLM, one of our cheerleaders, helped win many games. Here, there and everywhere instilling pep in her classmates is ever her duty. DONALD HOMOUTZ, who is intensely in- terested in athletics, is also the owner of a friendly smile. Much to be thankful for, Donald. JACK HDPE, a versatile boy, is good in athle- tics and likewise in studies. This is surely a coveted desire of all our D. T. H. S. athletes. EVELYN HUEBER was so intent in studies that she wasn,t seen so very much, but she makes us envious of her grades. Who doesn't enjoy being on the honor roll?. Oh, to dance like EDWIN HUPACH! He is a good commercial student. Now Ed is a true grocerman and we seldom see him as he comes to school only two periods daily. ALPO HUTTUNEN is silent most of the time in the classroom but gives very worthwhile answers to questions when called upon. That's a compensation, isn't it? Alpo's only fault is his overwhelming desire for hunting which sometimes causes him to forget to come to school. OF DEKALB. WAS THE ORIGINAL INVENTOR OF ASBESTOS SHINGLES . . ON THE SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL .... IN FORMER EVELYNNE JACOBSON, an attractive girl, will make a very efficient secretary for someone. She is quite well known for making good looking costumes in sewing class. Her time is devoted to more important things outside of school. JOE JAPUNTICH lends his tuneful saxaphone playing to the sax section of the band. He is one of the town's paper carriers but also spends a good share of his time playing on the intra- mural teams. ALYNE JENSEN is one of these girls who is brilliant in everything as well as at- tractive. The latter part of this year she ac- cepted a position with the Farm Bureau, so was here but a short time each day. She came to us from Florida. She is as modest as popular. ARNOLD JOHNSON is a quiet student who is willing to work and can be depended upon at all times. He assisted in the business work of the Kalibre. If there were more who studied as IRENE JOHNSON does what a good school we would have. She and her twin are insepar- able. ROBERT JOHNSON would rather skip than study. Nevertheless he was always around to help secure Kalibre patrons and surely did his share of the work. SYLVIA JOHNSON sees a silver lining in the darkest cloud. And can she draw! Look at some of the art work in the Kalibre and verify this. Perhaps no other boy has as many varied interests as LAWRENCE KEEGAN who upholds the dignity of the class as well as entertains us with many speeches. Truly, Larry is known by all in school for his versatility. Behold the senior president! There is no room for sadness when you see a cheery smile, such as that of ROSE KERZICH. Her time is divided between the ten cent store and school work. Books need not interfere with studies is the senti- ment of ROBERT KITTLESON. He may be found riding in a model Tv Ford on the royal road to Sycamore. Although bashful from an outward appearance, WAYNE KIVILUOMA is one of the leading golf players and is also an en- thusiastic heavy-weight football player. He says he is disinterested in the opposite sex, but we have our doubts. TOTVO KIVISTO was certainly a great help to our class at all times. He could collect money, sell tickets and be a general handy man. What would the umilersn do without Eric',? YEARS THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SENIORS WERE NOT LISTED .... ALUMNI 'QLW There is no sweeter music than the jingling of money, is the belief of NEILO KOSKI, treasurer of our class for two years. He is one of those rare individuals who really knows what money looks like. Neilo was one of our most enthusiastic members of the athletic department. One should be seen and not heard is the opinion of WAINO KUUSISTO. Waino was one of the few who represented the school in golf. He can certainly swing a club. A friend one will not easily forget is ELEANOR LAMBERT, a demure young lassie. Eleanor entered into sports during all her four years. The irresistible smile and friendly jests of IDALINE LEE cheer many downhearted per- sons, while she is around school. Her outstand- ing work in the art work of the Kalibre made our book more attractive. Don't you agree? Willingness to help and efficiency of perform- ance are two of the excellent qualities of RUTH LITTLEJOHN - our Editor-in-chief of the Kalibre. She has shown exceptional ability in all fields of home economics. The embodi- ment of mirth, efficiency and personality is found in LILLIAN LILLBERG. She is one of the fairer sex whom we rarely see unaccompanied. Lillian had charge of the departmental work for the yearbook. ELLEN LOVELL is often seen walking the halls with a certain young man who seems to be her main interest. She didn't have time to participate in athletics for if you pass the ten cent store you,ll see her working after school. We like your thrift, Ellen. A firm believer in always being on time is ESTHER LUHTALA. She is quite active in athletics as you can readily see if you look in our Who's Who. Students should have longer vacation ROBERT LUND- GREN believes. His sunny disposition is his best asset. Sweet personality full of rascality, describes VIOLET MACE. Do you know her? Then T'm sure you know we are right. One of the Barb reporters who must know everything is KENNETH MACE. His genial manner makes him a good companion to all his friends. EMIL MARCHESKI is generally found at the theatre for he is a worker at the Fargo. He has made a place for himself in our class by his winning smile. DE KALB FURNISHED 223 MEN FROM ITS POPULATION OF 1900. WHEN THE LETTERS WERE PUBLISHED IN SOME OF THE FORMER KALIBRES .... BOTH Charms so many and faults so few makes PHILOMENE MASIOKAS one of the ap- preciated members of our class. Everybody who knows Philomene has the pleasure of a real friend- ship. CHARLES MASTERSON is the tall friendly chap who dislikes the looks of books but who enjoys any thing else in the line of amuse- ments. EVELYN MASTERSON who has been active in all sports has just decided in her senior year that she likes school. Evelyn has en- joyed being one of our old faithful cheer lead- ers this last year. CATHERINE McCABE, the girl who believes in preparedness, for she brings her hat and coat to class so she will not be home late for dinner. One of the class comedians is ROBERT MCCANN whose sole delight is to amuse his classmates. Incidently, Bob never lets his studies interfere with his schoolworkg it seems to be against his principles. As much unlike his brother as anyone could be is WILLIAM MCCANN. Tennis has been a main factor in Bill's school life along with his studies which he seems to take more seriously than his brother. Who is the brunette whom we see frequenting 'Su-f the lower halls so often? It is none other than CLARIBEL MCGLENAHAN. We wonder why she can't get to classes on time when she lives right across the street from school? Clari- bel has only been with us for two yearsg we wish we could have known her better. From Elburn comes MELVA MEREDITH. She also has been with us for three years but while she has been here she has endeared herself to many of us by her pleasant manner. Very small in stature but none the less important is LILY MICHELSON. Many of the girls are envious of Lily's curls- who wouldn't be? Lily has been quite active in the commercial department. BERTHA MILLER has a very pleasing personality that has acquainted us with her unusual charms. She enjoys athletics and has participated in them quite extensively. A Cortlandite is WYNN MILTON. He is an all around good sport and a friend of every one. Wynn played basketball the two years he was here with us. CAROL MONTGOMERY is one of the most active members of our senior class and has been a participant in numerous activities. See Who's Who. CIVIL WAR BROKE OUT .... IN 1860 AN AGRICULTURAL FAIR WAS ESTAB FACULTY AND STUDENTS TOOK PART IN OPERETTAS IN 1906 .... STUDY-HALL EDWARD MOORE has created many friends in his high school career. Although not a mem- ber of the athletic teams he always arranges to see them play. LOUISE MOSBACK is one of our classmates from Cortland. She is a girl with sterling qualities. She is very quiet but during her three years here she established many friend- ships. CHARLOTTE MOSHER is one of our country schoolmates who has made a host of ac- quaintances during her entire four years. Char- lotte is known everywhere for her captivating smile and personality. ARTHUR MURRAY has been our successful prom chairman, never failing to perform all the duties, no matter how distasteful. He was always ready to help every- one in every way that he possibly could. LEROY NELSON'S willingness to take thoughtless people home after forgotten articles has made him invaluable to us. He has played in the band for four years. He is a willful worker and al- ways ready to help. DAN NEVINS is one of our fun-loving boys at school but we know he will have time for more serious things later in life He enjoys history very much and we hope some day he'll discover the Kishwaukee. VEGA NORRBY has been a participant in almost every activity in school and a good scholar as well. She is very active in sports. Vega's sweet dis- position, we feel sure, will win her a place in the world. MARY ELLA OLDHAM is one of our seniors who came back to graduate with us. She is often seen with one of her pals on the dance floor. BEATRICE OLSON, with her guitar, entertains her friends and takes part in many pro- grams. This does not hinder her from being an excellent student. LEORA OVERTON appears shy and demure but she really isn't when one be- comes acquainted with her. She is hardly seen without her friend Genevieve. HERBERT PALMER is our famous musician and has he sax appeal? Hess,' is one of our most witty seniors and an excellent ping pong player. His favorite hobby is sleeping in history class. MIL- FORD PALMQUIST is a great help to his dad and a great addition to our class. Being late to class mornings seems to appeal to Milford. Mil- ford is another silent individual. LISHEDg J. F. GLIDDEN PURCHASED THE GROUND .... IN ISI1 THE DEKALB ROOM II2 WAS FORMERLY AN ASSEMBLY HALL .... IN 1904 THE NAME OF THE RUTH PEACOCK shows her ability in writing prize essays. She is good in all her studies and finds real joy in going to school. CHARLES PEASE, who entered from Malta, participated in school life and athletics with success. He re- ceived a letter from playing football his first year here and is also a member of the basketball squad. He is going out for track, too. The capable leader of the Y. W. C. A. and also a talented pianist is none other than ALICE PETERSON. Alice is a true leader of her group. A witty boy is ORVILLE PETERSON, who is very well liked among his classmates. He also enjoys tennis and considerable amount of time is spent in practice. ELSIE PEURA will make a neat and accurate secretary, don't you think? She is secretary of the senior class. She is- also very athletic and very domestic. A finer student nor more active miss could ne'er be found than is MARGERY PIERSOL. She won the Kalibre sales contest and helped to make possible our yearbook. Oh, she is very interested in dramatics too. FRANCES POTTER who en- tered for her last year showed interest in all fields of work. She exerted her efficiency in the cafe- teria as shown by the good food up there. MARY PRENTICE was so willing to help all who asked her. Especially did she do good work in English grammar class. ROBERT PRUITT is efhciency personified. He will be a successful business man as he has proved so very capable as business manager on our yearbook. Likewise is he well known in school as a debater. ANNA REDMOND, who is an accomplished pianist has delighted us with solos throughout our school years. She has assisted in the operetta and many musical programs. FRED RICH, although seem- ingly quiet, is one of our most enthusiastic de- baters, as seen in the Lag Nite performance. He has the distinction of being one of the out- standing members to argue who has ever entered our school. JOHN RILEY is one of our valu- able assets to the basketball team because of his height. He is also a real sport as all his friends know. Gi COUNTY FENCE COMPANY BEGAN TO MAKE WOVEN WIRE .... MR. GILBERT YEARBOOK WAS THE BARB .... THE SENIOR GIRLS FORMERLY HAD AN Q1 . Q 3, 6' 'x Yi A four year letter man is MICHAEL ROCHE, who as president, led our class through a most successful third year. To know Miken is to like him. He may be found either on the football field or on the basketball floor. HAROLD ROWE had the leading masculine part in Pirates of Penzance . He is the second Bing Crosby and may be heard crooning in the halls. AGNES RUMPF is one of our ardent feminine athletes from Malta. The boys certainly miss that Chrys- ler coupe. Although a titian haired damsel, she doesn't live up to the fiery reputation. AUNE SAARI'S scholarship record speaks for itself. She is also a very faithful G. A. A. member. She is a very good scholar, especially in history. JOE SALKAWSKE surprises everyone if he gets lower than an RA . He is very reserved. Maybe that's the reason for his high scholastic standing. LUETTA SANDERSON seems quiet to those who don't know her. She is seldom seen without her pal Toni , Strangely enough her interests are centered around a neighboring city rather than DeKalb. What will happen to the football and basketball teams without MIKE SARICH'S -in six feet two and one half inches of energy? Out- side of sports he likes dancing and is found now and then with girls. HELEN SCHWEITZER is a diligent worker for the Barb as well as an inspira- tion to her home room. Because of her ability she was made co-news editor on the Barb. It seems that it is impossible for her to master the alphabet beyond the first letter. PAYE SCOTT whose main interest lives in Chicago is a very good com- mercial student. She's achieved a fond liking for Opera . She is almost always seen with her MAYME SEPPALA'S leader- chum, Barbara. ship and ability in athletics has won her recogni- tion throughout the school. She spends most of her time in the girls, gymnasium. She became one of our cheerleaders her senior year. She has shown her ability too, in writing the girls' sport section for the Kalibre. JAMES SHERIDAN is to be one of our future farmers. We wish him success. He entered from Shabbona his senior year. GEORGE SHIPMAN played football for two years and is also well known as a high jumper. His hobby is experimenting with a radio. He thinks he's a woman haterl WAS ELECTED FIRST JUSTICE OF THE PEACE IN 1853 .... IN 1891 THE WELLS INTERSCHOLASTIC BASKETBALL TEAM. . . . THE CLASS OF '23 GAVE THE How will the German Club continue without ROSE SHUMAKER? She has also been an efhcient member of the Barb staff and has de- voted much of her time to it. Rose has always been very conscientious about all her school work. She is one of our dependable farmerettes. ALBERTA SIPAVICIS was always one of the best girl basketball players-especially on the senior team, and has been a loyal member of the G. A. A. EDWARD SMITH took school and especially French very seriously. He's that tall young man with a wave in his raven black hair. DOROTHY SNOW is a fun loving girl who succeeds in finding joy in all things. She has participated in all the sports while in the G. A. A. Dorothy,s famous hideout is either in Miss John- son's ofhce or in the gym. We saw NELLE STEFANI at school and at Stefani's after games. The joy of working for father. She has found time for extra-curriculum activities too. EDGAR B. SWANSON is fun par excellence yet he has been very efficient in the collection of dollars for Kalibre subscriptions. Edgar has a particular liking for a certain back seat in Mr. Colvin's room. We wonder if it's because he can catch up on sleep back there? MARIANN SWANSON is another student who has been an active member of the G. A. A. She also has belonged to the Dramatic Club and has taken part in many plays. Ar all the sunset dances Marian may be seen with regularity. VIOLET TAYLOR will probably be a bookkeeper some- day, for she is a worker in the commercial de- partment. Violet seems to have a particular liking for typing and shorthand. ODESSA THOMPSON has been a faithful worker in the cafeteria during her last year in school. We wonder what Odessa's secret hobby is? It must be pretty good, at least she won't reveal it. OWEN TOLF has been a valuable member of our football teams. He has an indomitable spirit, and he is one of the most courteous of his class- mates. MARIAN TROTZ is one member of the class who became more sociable during her senior year. However she has always been rather quiet and sedate. PHYLLIS TURNER, who is quite demure, came to us from Malta for her last year. Her shyness invokes deep respect. FURNITURE NOW USED IN THE GUEST ROOM .... THE CLASS OF 1912 GAVE THE Most everyone knows the little black haired miss who goes down the halls of D. T. H. S. with a big smile and a winning personality. Yes, you,ve guessed her - Midge,' or better known as MARGARET TWOMBLY. Elinor WEB- STER is the feminine Kreisleru of our school. She also is in the habit of getting excellent grades. The commercial and English departments will miss ELEANOR WEIHERMAN. Eleanor has a hobby of collecting pictures and articles on aviation. MARION WEIHERMAN is more serious minded than her sister. She is satisfied to stay on the ground and watch her baseball heroes. If there are any social functions VIVIENNE WETTER is bound to be there. CARL WHITE is one of our faithful officers and also a member of our football team, and track teams. He is likewise active in the chorus and the boys' glee club. GEORGE WHITE is a willing worker and the inseparable pal of Donald Whitman. He is a member ofthe basketball team. DONALD WHITMAN is the possessor of a keen wit and love for excitement. He is usually found in either the halls or c l a s s rooms. Why not teach your friend Geo- rge the proverb, Early to bed a n d e a r l y to rise-U? RUTH WICKSTROM is a lover of basketball and dancing. She has fun wherever she goes. EVELYN WILLETT is a successful de- bater who is efficient in other things as well. Evelyn's pleasant attitude toward her school work and classmates has won her many friends. MARION WILLEY,S eagerness to acquire knowledge has singled her out as a pupil who is above the average. FLORENCE WISE is interested in athletics or anything for a good time. She may frequently be seen talking to her many friends from Sycamore. DOROTHY WISTED who entered her fourth year from Malta added pep to our class. MABEL ZELLAR is seen in all fields of work. Ir looks as though she is going to be a future farmerette.

FIRST OIL FURNACE IN DEKALB WAS INSTALLED IIN' A HOME IN 1920. . . THE BARB WAS FORMERLY EDITED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS .... ON APRIL 20-21, CLASS OF 1935 The class of L35 has been an outstand- ing class during its three years. It has been represented in all phases of school life. In literary worlc the class is exceptionally prominent. More juniors won awards in the annual creative contest sponsored by the Barb staH: than any other class, and a large number of juniors have had responsible posi- tions on the Barb staff in the past year. Early in December the class presented a con- vocation. This was in the form of a burlesque of school happenings and of pep at high school games. This year when the student council was organ- ized more juniors were elected to represent their home rooms than any other class. The class is also ably represented in the Forensic and Dramatic clubs. Both the heavyweight and lightweight basket- ball teams have junior members. The junior girls also have become very prominent in sports. The junior girls won the soccer tournament.

Miss Ellendore Lampton is the liter- ary adviser, Miss Gertrude Greeley is art adviser, and Mr. W. T. Emery is business man- ager. Over all was Miss Lampton,-femina dux facti -power behind the throne who made our book pos- sible. She was ever willing to work any number of hours to assist and supervise the construction of our book. The members of the entire Kalibre staff wish to express their appreciation for the splendid assistance given throughout the senior year by these three members of our faculty. The actual work of the Kalibre commenced in the latter part of October, during which time a very successful subscription campaign was carried on, in which four hundred and fifty subscriptions were secured. Ruth Littlejohn, editor-in-chief, has had many duties to perform. She assisted in plan- ning the book, working out its theme, reading copy and proof. She has done all very effici- ently. Arleen Culver, our literary editor, has spent many painstaking hours writing and pre- paring copy for the printer. Robert Pruitt, the business manager on the staff, has kept the books in order, and has seen that we made ends meetf, Marjorie Beals and her committee are re- sponsible for the artistic sketches throughout the book. Her committee was composed of Idaline Lee, Sylvia Johnson and Ruth Wick- strom. Robert McCann, subscription manager, has organized his group workers and successfully carried on the subscription campaign, from which the majority of our financial support is derived. He was assisted by Neilo Koski, Howard Eychaner, Mike Sarich, Donald ARLEEN CULVER, literary editor. RUTH LITTLEJOHN. editor-in-chief. ROBERT PRUITT. business manager.

HAZEL NEWITT WAS THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE BARB IN 1905. . As in previous years, there were various changes made in the Barb 1fj,, staff after the first six issues. The journalism class elected the staff leaders for the second semester and planned the changes in man- Charlotte Cummings agement. For the first semester there were two editors-in-chief directing a large group of reporters and assistants, but, since there was a smaller staff working on the last six issues, one editor-in-chief supervised the publications. The members of the staff for the first six issues were: Editors-in-chief, Evelyn Mosher, Nathan Annas Second Page Editor, Kathleen Rowles Fourth Page Editor, Eleanor Weiherman Malte-up Editor, Marjorie Beals Assistant Editor, Allen Davy Sports Editors, Carl Swanson, Donald Wennlund Head Proof Reader, Elinor Webster Voice of the Plebs, Ruth Coultas Business Manager, Howard Eychaner Advertising Assistant, Roger Hayes Business Secretaries, Alyne Jensen, Elsie Peura Circulation Managers, Mary Fisher, Catharine Winn Head Typist, Marion Weiherman Exchanges, Mariann Swanson THE BARB Those who worlced on the newspaper during the sec- ond semester were the same persons who had been trained at the first of the school year. As a Mr L C Colvin result of experience and practice, received in the journalism course, the students shouldered a greater portion of responsi- bility in the last issues. The members of the staff for the last six issues were: Editorvin-chief, Allen Davy Co-editors, Helen Schweitzer, Kathleen Rowles Second Page Editor, Evelyn Mosher Make-up-editor, Nlarjorie Beals Sports Editor, Donald Wennlund Fourth Page Editor, Anna Marie Thorne Business Manager, Roger Hayes Circulation Manager, Elinor Webster Business Secretary, Alyne Jensen Head Proof Reader, Helen Shipman Library Slips, Elna johnson Voice of Plebs, Ruth Coultas Typists, Marion Weiherman, Eleanor Weiherman.

QUILL AND SCROLL The year of 1934 finds the local chapter of Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, with the largest en- rollment since the establishment of a chapter in DeKalb Township High School in 1928. Although only two members, Ruth Littlejohn and Lawrence Keegan, returned to school this year, the midyear found many applicants, who having fulfilled the terms of entry, sought admis- sion. Two of these neophytes, Nathan Annas, and Evelyn Mosher, won places in the contests spon- sored by the organization. Some of the qualifications for entry are: 1. The applicant must be in the upper third of his class scholastically. 2. The applicant must have at least fifty inches of well-written material published in the school or local paper. 3. These articles must be sent to the national secretary-treasurer for inspection. 4. The applicant must be a junior or senior. 5. The applicant must be recommended by the instructor in journalism at his school. This set of re uirements makes, naturall , an q Y organization of high standing. The Quill and Scroll held its annual banquet in March of this year. At this occasion the neophytes were initiated into the club by members of former years. Barb staff members, Quill and Scroll alumni and faculty members attended. The officers of this year were Lawrence Kee- gan, presidentg Ruth Littlejohn, vice-president, Miss Charlotte Cummings, adviser. Students who experience the worlc accompany- ing the publication of the Barb obtain many bene- fits from their training. After writing for this news publication, and studying the style of good journalistic writing one is able to write with greater ease. Themes, written discussions, and other assignments no longer cause a dreaded feel- ing in the minds of pupils who have learned to write fast and well. Such have been the profits of all those who labored on the Barb staff during the printing of its twelve issues. WAS BUILT IN 1861 ....

The entire student body of the DeKalb Town- ship High School should be very proud to have within its realm, an excellent seventy-four piece band. We feel very fortunate to have such an out- standing band-master as Mr. Edward Chenette, whose name is to be found among the memorable personages in the Who's Who of America. Mr. Chenette has spent many long hours working with the band. He is a very capable person as well as Chfnerfe a man of experience in the music world. He has not only taught us to be lovers of fine music, but has given innumerable pointers on tech- nique, which is very important and one of the primary stepping stones to success. During the first half of the . . , . . . Ruth Lirtlejohn year, the band rehearsed before school from eight o'cloclc to eight-forty. With the new semester, the band practised during the first hour of school. Early in the year they began preparation for the contests in which the band entered this year. The district contest was held in Freeport on April 6. Then later was the annual state band con- test, held in Champaign-Urbana on April 26- 27-28. During this time the band sponsored bake sales, also a play entitled Henry's Wedding , as well as a stunt show, which was held on March 16, for the purpose of raising money to finance the trips to the various contests. On February 13, the high school band took part in the annual DeKalb county music festival, which was held in the DeKalb Township High School this year. The band played several selections dur- ing the afternoon and evening programs. NORMAL HAS BEEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS MADE DEKALB FAMOUS JANUARY 1904 THE GROUND WAS BROKEN FOR THE NEW BUILDING. . . The band has also delighted the student body with entire programs during a convocation period as well as instilling pep and enthusiasm at all of the high school's athletic events. One of the highlights of the football season, was the parad- ing of the band in front of the stadium between the halves of the games. This proved to be quite an added attraction to outside spectators as well as the townspeople.

THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT WAS D CLUB The year of 1929 was when the D club was organized and elected its officers. It has become one of the popular organizations within our school. The purposes of the organization were to cre- ate better sportsmanship among pupils and to encourage other pupils to participate in sports so that they might be able to develop better physical condition. All letter winners in football, basketball, traclc, golf and tennis are eligible for membership, but are not officially members until after the initiation which comes immediately after the baslcetball sea- son. Each year the D club sponsors a sport dance at which time each member wears his athletic award. Invitations are issued to graduate letter men to come and join in the annual D club frolic.

IN One of the most active clubs in school is the Hi-Y. This boys' organization under the competent and able guidance of Mr. O. I. Leach, with each succeeding year, impresses its worth upon the rec- ords of D. T. H. S. history. The stated purpose and aim of the Hi-Y is To create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community, higher standards of chris- tain livingf' The Hi-Y aims to get into its circle the better boys in school, the ones who are willing to work silently and faithfully for the benefit of the school and community. It is the rule of the Hi-Y that if any thing needs doing, the Hi-Ywill do it and if necessary, let someone else take the credit. One of the highlights in the Hi-Y work this year was the State Older Boys' Conference, held in Springfield. Although the conference was held downstate an unusually large crowd of boys from the northern part of the state attended. The three day conference included trips to historical points, in and around Springfield. The celebrated first Row: Gilbert Jacobson.

At the Hi-Y meetings held in the music room every other Tuesday noon, many interesting pro- grams were held. Speakers in all stations of life spoke to the members, telling of their own experi- ences and giving good advice, which will help the boys to really live up to the aim of the club. The officers for the past year were: Pres. Lawrence Keegan, Vice-Pres. Gilbert Freyg Co- Secretaries, William Leutbeclcer and Laurie Koslcig Co-Treasurers, Carl Swanson and Allen Davy.

COMMERCIAL GROUP For the past two years the Commercial de- partment has varied its usual custom by having intra-mural contests, which were open to pupils in the shorthand, typing and bookkeeping clases. There were a number of different events, in- cluding an amateur typing test, open to second year students and a novice typing contest, in which all first year students were eligible. All typ- ing students were permitted to enter a three- Bearhope Miss Etta Larson Miss Madgeline Belts minute test. Shorthand tests were given at one hundred words a minute and at ninety words. The contest winners were as follows: Novice typing, Alyne Jensen, Amateur typing, Margaret Mungerg Seventy word shorthand, Marion Wfeihermang Ninety word shorthand, Margaret Mungerg One hundred word shorthand, Allie Lehtoneng Bookkeeping, Allie Lehtoneng Open typing, Alva Gabrielson. A plaque hangs in the commercial room with the names engraved upon it. UD pins were given the winners of the first and sec- ond places in each event. The contest was managed by Miss Mina Bearhope, with Miss Madgeline Belts and Miss Etta Larson as assistants. Personal typing was very popular this year as there were over sixty students who were enrolled. FIRST SCHOOL PRINCIPAL M ANDREW 1869 .... FIRST LADY PRINCIPAL, ELLA S. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM PLAYED OUT OF TOWN TEAMS. . . IN HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club is an active club, and is open to all girls enrolled in the foods, clothing. or home planning classes. Throughout the year, the club has worked on various projects. At the beginning of the school year, the members of the cabinet met to plan the tentative program for the year. To start the year, approximately forty new members were initiated into the club with Lois Herrick, the vice-president in charge. At the same meeting, the new ofiicers were installed by the impressive candle-lighting service. The officers were: President, Ruth Littlejohn, Vice-President, Lois Herrick, Secretary, Evelynne Jacobsong Treasurer, Ruth Peacockg Reporter, Elna Johnson. In November, Miss Hamilton of the Social Service Bureau, spoke to the club, giving sugges- tions for Christmas gifts and baskets. Inspired by her talk, the club went ahead to prepare clothing that was brought in by members of the club. Two boxes of clothing were given to Mrs. Boardman, DeKalb Welfare Chairman, to distribute. These articles were appreciated very much by those who received them. First Rim: Pearl hlatherlv. Evelyn hlasterson. Helen Dufiv, Rose Ciprlanit Nlable Zellar. Rose Scliumalrer. Odessa Thompson.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE WAS INSTITUTED IN candlelight service, and a social good time. Early in the fall we adopted the plan of having our meetings at noon. We have continued having them at that time and find that they are very successful. Miss Edna Wolf The month of December was a very active one for the Y. W. C. A. We opened the month by having a sunrise dance. This was the first dance the Y. W. has ever given and also the first sun- rise dance to be given at D. T. H. S. Before the holidays we had our annual Christmas party en- tertaining the eighth grade girls of the public schools. Last Christmas the Y. W. furnished baskets of food and toys to two DeKalb families. The month was closed by singing carols at both of the hospitals, the infirmary and the sanatorium. In January the girls of the Y. W. C. A. were big sistersn to the new freshmen. They were also entertained at our first meeting in the new semester and those desiring to become members were initiated at the last meeting in February. Fin! Run: Verna Rylander. Anna Ruth Adkins.

In February seven new freshman girls were taken into the organization and formally initiated by the impressive candle lighting service. Follow- ing this they hail the less formal initiation which included games and stunts participated in by the new girls. Usually the Y. W. C. A. conducts services be- fore school during holy week. But because the week before Easter was spring vacation we had but one early morning service, the Friday before the vacation. This service was very inspiring to begin the day. The general plan of the meetings throughout the year have been having speakers or discussions led by the girls themselves. The topics were usu- al ones of interest to all girls. The senior tea which is an annual event with the exception of last year, was held after Spring vacation. Ar this tea all of the cabinet members, the women of the faculty, and all Y. W. girls were invited. The mothers' and daughters, banquet was the final event of the year. At this time the mothers were honored.

Three plays, The Romancersv, Thanks Awfullyv, and The Grill were given. The Grill was awarded first place. The plays were chosen, directed, and staged entirely by student members of the club. They were judged by Miss Gail Masters, Mr. Willard Gieske, and Mr. William Connors, all members of the Dramatic Club of the Northern Illinois State Teachers College. The casts of these plays were open to any who wished to try out for a part. All who did try out were taken into the club as active members. At Christmas the club presented Dust of the Road at the annual Christmas party of the P. T. A. The play was given twice previous to this before other town organizations. The cast of the play was as follows: a tramp, Parker Ells- worth, Peter Steele, Nathan Annasg Prudence Steele, his wife, Jessie Brakeyg their uncle, How- ard Eychaner. At the same time a Christmas pantomine was given before a convocation. The pantomine had a much larger cast than rhe play which was long , and complicated but was done unusually well. In March the club put on a short, humorous one-act play Cured in the Egyptian Theatre as a part of the band stunt show. Many of the members of the club graduated last year, so this year the membership of the club was opened to underclassmen. All those who tried out for a play part were accepted into the club whether they got the part or not. Miss Minnie Jones The Northwestern University senior class in- vited five senior members of the organization, Mariorie Beals, Phyllis Gonterman, Jeannette Ballou, Margery Piersol, and Nathan Annas to attend the presentation of Under the Gas Light , a very famous play, given March 10. The ofhcers of the club this year were: presi- dent, Nathan Annasg vice-president, Vega Norr- byg secretary-treasurer, Phyllis Gonterman. The lighting and staging of the plays were in charge of Parker Ellsworth and several assistants. OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN IN DEKALB. . .

They receive this knowledge through class room instruc- tion and through project work carried out on the farm. The purpose of the vocational training which accompanies the work of this organization is to encourage co-operation in an industry which has not been known for systematic business rela- tions. As an organization of exceptional enterprise, the F. F. A. or Ag club is among the leading groups in our school. The year of activities was begun with the annual father and son banquet. President Allen Davy acted as toast master. The speakers on this occasion were: Mr. Bert Oder- kirk, manager of the Babson farmsg Mr. A. E. Fahlund of the board of education, Superintend- ent R. G. Bealsg Mr. P. M. Furr, agricultural instructorg and Fred Rich, a member of the Ag club. The food for the banquet was provided from the farms by the boys and was prepared by the girls of the department of home economics. Among the other undertakings of the farm boys' organization were included: the anti-pest contest, the sectional oratorical contest, the corn Webster. Alvern Hetland, James Flood, Earl Donahoe.

Although the pest contest lasted for only three months, it was sufficient to decrease the rodent population of numerous farms. The oratorical contest offered an opportunity for the boys interested in public speaking to compete with farm boys of twenty other schools. The corn and egg shows brought the interest and exhibits of a great number of farmers in this area. They also served as a means of describing the value of quality products from the farm. CREED OF THE FUTURE FARMERS I believe in the beauty of God's open countryg that life out of doors and in touch with the earth is the natural life of man. Mr, P M Furr I believe that work is work wherever we find it, but that work with nature is most inspiring and challenging. I believe that the dignity of labor depends not on what you do, but how you do itg that oppor- tunity comes to a boy on the farm WAS BEING IMPROVED BY REMOVING MAPLE TREES. . .

ONCE, AND I9-9, ANOTHER TIME IN as often as to a boy in the cityg that life on the farm may be full, happy, and free, and that a prosperous agriculture is essential to our national welfare, that my success depends not upon my location, but upon myself, not upon my dreams, but what I actually do, not upon luck but upon pluck. I believe in working when I work and in play- ing when I play, in giving and demanding a square deal in every act of life. JUDGING TEAMS The three judging teams representing DeKalb's local F. F. A. chapter won the annual sectional judging contest in 1933. Early in the year the dairy and fat-stock teams spent several days traveling about the county doing practice work. It was necessary for them to receive a good deal of training so that they might make a good show in competition. As a result of this special effort to do the best possible in their contests, these teams were able to come out in the lead of twenty- one schools. Because the grain, poultry, dairy, and fat-stock Fur! Run. Walter Peterson, Eugene Gresh, Allen Davy, Glendon Wilbur Davy, Leroy Ebbeson.

In state competition the DeKalb boys were unable to do the exceptional work which they had done pre- viously. Even though there were no premium re- turns, the experience obtained from these Ag enterprises are of great value to farm lads. After comparing so many exhibits of farm animals as these teams encountered, each boy had a more clear idea of the better types of market animals and crops. One who has used his own judgment concerning the comparative qualities of market products and has then heard authorities comment on the same samples has a chance to learn about merits of farm products. The opportunity to study animals with the as- sistance of experienced and versed judges is one that only the boys who make the judging teams can have. Since so much can be learned in this manner it behooves every person to avail himself of this unusual chance. Ir is for this reason that the instructor of vocation agriculture makes so great an attempt to encourage a large number of boys to become interested in making a team.

THE AG CLUB WAS ORGANIZED IN 1924 WITH 30 BOYS AS STUDENT COUNCIL Student-government organizations are not new. Many plans have been tried throughout the country with varying degrees of success. This is the first time for a number of years that our school has had a student council. It has worlted very well and several important problems have been discussed. The noon hall traffic was handled very efficiently this year, the most credit being given to the student-council which improved the traflic situation. Another important issue taken care of by the student council was the organization of an usher club. The student council worked upon problems which were brought to the meetings by the repre- sentatives from their respective home-rooms. Mr. Beals, adviser of the student council, states that the theory of the council is to, Educate the students through the home-room activities and student council activities to talce responsibilities of action. One of the immediate aims of student partici- pation in the government of the school is the teaching and practice of self-control. As the basis of achievement, self-control is the very beginning of right discipline. Closely related is the aim of self-reliance. Every student must be led to see that he is an important and integral part of the school community and the school then, will be just as good as he helps to make it. Now is the time of life in which students are peculiarly affected by a craving for freedom, self- reliance, and the chance to show what they can do by themselves. The discovery and development of leadership is often detected in students through student participation. Surely there is no greater need in the American democracy today than a diversified and balanced leadership. The best thing the stu- dent council can do about developing leaders is to furnish the opportunity. One of the surest ways to develop leadership in a person is to place responsibility upon him and then guide and direct his efforts. Leaders sometimes come from the most unsuspecting sources. One of the primary necessities in preparation of democratic life is worthy co-operation. The stu- dent council affords a great opportunity for co- operation. The establishment of high ideals of citizenship is another aim of the student council. Student participation develops the student per- sonally. It fosters democracy, fair play, unselfish service, consideration for the rights of others, and the respect for the law of the social group.

IN 1902 BASEBALL WAS QUITE AN IMPORTANT This one year old club whose purpose is to promote the interests of debate and declamation in the high school and community at large, has during its short existence shown the importance of speech work and has done a very eflicient job in carrying out its purpose by sending members to speak before several of the clubs and organizations of this city. It first be- gan its work this year by a humorous debate be- fore the student body. Since then it has had the privilege of having members discuss present day issues before the same group and also the Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club, Parent Teachers' Association and the Business and Professional Women's Club. Through its efforts about thirty people were interested and participated in debating this year and almost as many for the literary contests. The club was founded last May when those interested in speech work saw the need for an organization of this type. Upon being organized its twelve charter members Roger Hayes, Jeannette Ballou, Howard Eychaner, Robert Hooker, Evelyn Wil- lett, Earl Donahoe, Fred Rich, Allen Davy, Joyce Ronan, Ari Kovacevich, Robert Pruitt and Lawr- ence Keegan, selected as its oflicers-Robert Pruitt, president, Roger Hayes, vice-president, and Jean- nette Ballou, S8Cretary-treasurer. To become eligible for membership a pupil must participate in some branch of public speak- Fxul Raw: Ari Kovacevich, Robert Pruitt. Jeannette Ballou. Roger Hayes. Earl Donahoe.

FORENSIC CLUB ing, and he must have represented the school in some inter-scholastic contest. This year Harriet Simms, Robert Pottenger and Frances Ellis have been taken into the club. This club is the only organization in school without dues. Thus in order to raise money to carry on the year's work the members sponsored a humorous negro debate on the subject Resolved dat it ain't 'no crime for a nigger to steal chickens, also a reading and negro dance were given. This program although its financial re- turns were not as great as expected, proved to be a real entertainment for the audience. In view of all these accomplishments during the past year members of this club decided to join the National Forensic League, a national honorary organization which would exist separ- ately from the local forensic club. The member- ship requirements are on a point system. In order to become a member one must have a certain number of points. These points are earned by participating in some type of inter-scholastic work. It permits one to advance and obtain different de- grees so that there is always something for which to strive. They upheld both sides of the question, Roger Hayes speaking first on the aflirmative, Howard Eychaner second and Robert Pruitt third and captain. Robert Pruitt spoke first on the negative, Howard Eychaner, second, and Roger Hayes third and captain. WHISTLE IN JUNE 1917 .... IN 1911 THE POPULATION WAS 8000. . . .

A BIOLOGY CI.III5 DEBATE We are proud of our debate teams this year because they were able to rate along with Men- dota which was last year's state champions and Belvidere, last year's conference champions. Because of Miss Wentworth's physical in- ability to spend as much time and strength on debating this year as usual, the debaters did prac- tically all of the work themselves, in the prelimi- naries and in building their cases, until Mrs. Rut- ledge came in to lend a helping hand the second semester. The affirmative was composed of Frances Ellis, first speakerg Robert Pottenger, second speaker, and Robert Pruitt, third speaker and captain. Rita Faivre was alternate for first speaker show- ing considerable ability as a beginner. Frances Ellis has made it an established fact that she knows what she is talking about. Robert Pottenger, we expect to hear plenty from next year. Several times the judge has stated that he did the best work of any of the speakers on the platform. The negative team was composed of Robert Hooker, first speaker, Howard Eychaner. second speaker and Roger Hayes, third speaker and captain. Harriet Simms and Fred Rich served as alternates. Harriet Simms will show some one a good race for a regular next year. Fred Rich has shown that his ambition to become a lawyer is a promising one. Robert Hooker has been a Howard Eye aner, ita aivre, o err Otleh er, rances is, o regular for two years with another 9 left to go. Howard Eychaner de- bated on both sides of the question before the conference started but ended on the negative side. Roger Hayes has proved an asset to the debaters for three years. but he Mn' B graduates this year. The question this year was the national high school question: Resolved that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and operationf, The conference season was opened on February 5 after the preliminaries including interclass de- bates and three non-decision dual debates with Elgin, Sandwich and Mooseheart. On February 5, the negative traveled to Sterling to take their first conference debate. Cn the afternoon of the seventh our affirmative defeated Sterling but our negative dropped their only loss to Belvidere in the evening. Cn the fourteenth, Belvidere de- feated our affirmative. On the twenty-first DeKalb had a double win defeating Mendota affirmative and Rochelle negative. The follow- ing Wednesday our affirmative was defeated by Mendota before the high school assembly and the negative completed the conference schedule by defeating Rochelle in the evening. h R F R b P g F Ell R bert Pruitt, Robert Hooker, Harriet Simms, Fred Rich, Roger Hayes.

THE CLASS OF 1909 INSTITUTED THE Program Chairman Miss Minnie Jones A new German Club was organized in the fall of 1933 by the first-year German students, under the supervision of Miss Minnie Jones. Although the officers for the club were not selected until February 5, an informal meeting was held De- cember 21. The program for this initial meeting was a presentation of a scene from William Tell, a spell down, and the singing of Christmas carols in German. Meetings similar to this have been held every two weeks. These meetings were conducted according to parliamentary rules in order that the members may become familiar with these terms in the language which they are studying. Games added interest to these meetings and aided the students in practicing what they learn in their regular class work. Also several members of the class enter- Fin! Row: Dorace Gonterman.

The objective of these meetings is to aid its members in speaking the language as well as to acquaint them with the customs of lands where German is the mother tongue. Being organized of only first year German stu- dents, the members feel they have had a very suc- cessful year and though a few members will be lost by graduation another enjoyable year is anti- cipated.

Drew, bringing to a culmina- tion his fourth year at DeKalb High School with greater success marking the end of each school year, has produced this year one of the best cage squads ever to represent the high school. These boys, champs of the North Central Conference, bring home to D. T. H. S. the first heavyweight basketball champ- ionship in the history of our school. This in itself is something of which we are highly proud. Thus it is readily seen that he has succeeded in instilling in the players a feeling of good sportsmanship and a desire to win. Coach James H. Trees, who also entered our high school four years ago, likewise has marked the advent of four most successful years in football activity. Several of the D. T. H. S. players have proved their excellent training by attaining positions on the mythical state team. But most important of all is the fact that they have learned to work together, to fight against adversity and overwhelming odds, and by co-operation have gone on to achieve success. Mr. William Beaumont who has taken charge of intramural sports in our school, has been working earnestly with raw material pav- ing the way for the success of the future teams in all divisions of sports.

Dixon I4 DeKalb 0 Won 3 Lost 4 Tied 1 A squad made up of last year's lightweights and intramural players, with the exception of one man, composed the Barb's team which faced one of its toughest tests in years. Winning the first two games of the season satisfactorily, Mt. Morris and Sandwich, but taking a defeat in the third, from West Aurora, DeKalb closed its night games. Travelling to Mendota for the start of the conference race, the team met its second defeat. The next game was played at home against the Hubmen, our team winning by intercepting a forward pass in the final second of play. The score was six to nothing. Again, talcing another trip, this time to Sterling, the Barbs lost the hardest fought game of the year. Belvidere was next on the list, and the struggle ended in a deadlock. It was Belvidere's home coming. Dixon, probably our strongest rival, in the conference, defeated the Orange and Black fourteen to nothing. On this day DeKalb celebrated its first homecoming in the history of the school. After averaging the scores made by each team in the conference, Mendota, Rochelle, Sterling, Belvidere, Dixon, and DeKalb, Sterling was de- clared the winner of the 1933 championship. The school's motto now should be, Win back that championship. ROGER HAYES- Rog was given honorable mention on the All-State team for his all-around play at center.

They were defeated by West Aurora in a close game, seven to nothing, which ended the non-conference and also the night games. Meeting Mendota for the second time in the history of the school, the Barblets won their first conference game. Facing Rochelle on Monday Kenneth'A jerry Ki-nm' Claw afternoon, the contest having been postponed be- cause of homecoming at Northern Illinois State Teachers College, DeKalb won a very exciting game-seven to six.

Playing a great ba11-controlling game, and using its height to the best advantage, DeKalb improved with every encounter to take all but three of its scheduled games and all but one of its conference struggles, winning the championship easily. In the district tourney DeKalb entered the finals by virtue of a win over Waterman only to lose a thriller to Sycamore by one point. Both finalists of the district tournament entered sectional tournaments this year. The Barbs re- maining at home for its first sectional ever to be held in DeKalb, advanced to the finals by de- feating LaSalle-Peru and Huntley. Marshall of Chicago defeated the heavies in a real battle and forced the Barbs to step aside and allow the Chi- cago team to make the trip to Champaign and compete as one of the sixteen finalists fighting for state honors. The Barbs rounded out the season with a grand total of eighteen wins and five losses. We wish to sincerely congratulate our coach, Mr. Earl Drew, on developing such a fine team. The team of next year will be built around two of this year's regulars. The B squad will furnish the remaining material for giving DeKalb another outstanding team.

In addition to a moulding a fine heavy- weight team Coach Drew developed just as fine a lightweight team. The Bn squad won a tie with Belvidere for North Central ' Championship in its division. In conference l competition the Barblers won eight games l and lost two. i Starting slow, the lights dropped the first 1 conference game of the season at Belvidere. l Hard work resulted in a string of victories for the Barbs. The Sterling squad was the only other conference team to defeat DeKalb. I 4 Arnie Butch Bill The lights have a real record and the fact that the last game lost by the midgets was in early January means that DeKalb will see some mighty fine basketball from these boys next season. Four of the five regulars of the Barb minors were advanced to the tournament squad where they all received some game experience against Rollo and Steward in the district tourney.

ROBB SMITH showed a great deal of ability this year, and as he is a sophomore he should see much action in future years. DONALD WENNLUND is a junior who played his first year on the minors. His play was characterized by his scrap and aggressiveness. EINO SEPPALA distinguished himself by be- ing the only freshman to play as a regular. His best feature was his fighting spirit. ARNOLD CRONLUND played regular all season and was one of the best basket-shooters on the minors. He will be back for another year. EVERETT SWANSON is generally conceded the honor of having the best basket eye on the lights. CARL SWANSON, after a mediocre start, found himself and should be one of the mainstays of the heavies for next season. WILLIAM PHILLIPS is a sophomore who showed much ability. Hard work should mean a great season for Bill next year. RODNEY WRIGHT is a junior and we are expecting much of him for the next season. It was the hard work of Henry Hayes, Nick Peshut, Harry Condon, Kenneth Littlejohn and Gerald Grodland that made it possible for DeKalb to win a share of the lightweight title of the 1933-34 season.

At the sectional meet in Rockford, Adkins succeeded in gaining the finals and by a toss of the coin won the singles' championship. Both men went to the state meet, so the finals were not played. Peterson and Frey lost in the final match to Elgin in three sets. At the state meet in Champaign, Adkins was elimi- nated in his first match by Hyde Park. Peter- son and Frey lost a close match to Joliet in the first round. The conference meet held in DeKalb was won by the latter, Ritzman winning the singles and Peterson and Frey the doubles. This was the second successive conference championship for DeKalb. Prospects for next year look good, with three men returning to help bolster the group of young candidates that have shown a good deal of tennis ability. ll Cl y P Gila William McCann- Bill finished his first year on the tennis squad and proved valuable this year. Clayton Adkins- Clayt,' is a soft stroking but accurate player who ends a very successful high school tennis career. Orville Peterson- Pete,, was not elegible for competition this year but proved his worth last year. Paired with Frey, this combination suc- ceeded in winning the conference doubles title. Gilbert Frey- Gib played his last year for DeKalb and finished in a very successful way. He has proved to be one of the most valuable men on the squad. Leonard Lynch- Lynch', has shown a great deal of tennis ability and proved to be a very good man this season. Allen Tyler- Bud,' has worked hard for two years to make the squad and succeeded this year. He should be a valuable man on this year's team. Phillip Grotewohl- Phil,', though small was very fast and accurate, playing some excellent tennis this season. He too, will return for next year,s squad.

A group of thoroughbreds decided that they would pay their own way and with the help of Coach Trees carried on through a short season. A practice meet for the runners was held with Waterman, followed by a scheduled meet with St. Albans, which the Barbs won. A few of the squad entered the conference meet at Men- dota and placed well.

INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS One of the largest and most important parts of our athletic schedule is the intramural sports program. By means of this system many boys who are either too young or too inexperienced for the varsity squads get an oppor- tunity to participate in the same sports as do the varsity men and in doing so, gain valuable experience which will help them to make up good teams for D. T. H. S. in the future. This system is employed in nearly all of the large schools of the county and is recognized as being the best means available for group recreation for boys. As in our school, the aim throughout the county is to increase gradually the number of participants until all of the boys in school are active members of some team. In this school Mr. William Beaumont coaches the boys. He is constantly building up valuable material or discovering 'ifindsi' in hitherto unknown players. Basketball, football, track and wrestling as well as tumbling are the sports that are contained in our schedule. In football, three teams coached by Rudy Hanson, Owen Tolf, and Charles Masterson played a tourna- ment in which Masterson's team was victor. The mem- bers of the winning team were joe Bianchi, Bob Gos- PUTTING STREET LIGHTS ON STREETS. . . OPERA HOUSE BURNED ON FHI RF VI IRI SIX CHARTER MEMBERS OF THE HI-Y CLUB WHEN IT WAS FIRST Fur!

The championship game was an example of keen competition and interest. ending in a tie, but due to the fact that Masterson's team had a higher percentage in the standings they were granted the championship and were awarded numerals. In basketball about sixty boys participated. When- ever either gym was not being used for gym work the boys practiced. Ten teams named for big ten schools were selected and two tournaments were held.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS The physical education department for girls offers a varied program and is suited to all girls. The soccer tournament began the year with a great deal of spirit. There were over one hundred girls who came out for this event. The junior team who won the tournament was as follows: Wilma Ryan, Marion Hayes, Elma Jarvi, Eliza- beth Kientz, Evelyn Mosher, Julia Bjellc, Dorothy Trotz, Elna Johnson, Francis Stroyan, Edith Youngren and Helen Quarnstrom. The volley ball tournament was played off by first and second teams from each class. The senior B team won the tournament from the second teams and the sophomore A team won from the first teams. The lineup for the sopho- more A was, captain, Helen Hayes, Frances Wirtz, Jean Ritzman, Eleanor Olson, Barbara Duncan, Eleanor Ballou, Phyllis Morgan, Mar- jorie Swanson, Dorothy Thiele. Basketball which is one of the best liked sports added much excitement to the tournaments. The girls were divided off into first and second teams. The senior A and B teams won their games from the Junior A and B teams but were later defeated by the sophomore A and B teams. The lineup for the sophomore A was, captain, Frances Wirtzg forwards, Jean Ritzman, Dorothy Thiele, and Phyllis Morgan, guards, . .

Girls worked for their junior and senior life tests at that time. The G. A. A. girls under the direction of Miss Lillian M. Johnson gave a pageant for May day. It was called The Contest of the Seasons . It is about the King of Winter who has been ruling the earth and is loth to give up his throne to the Queen of May. The Queen of May, certain that her heralds, the South Winds and Spring, have been success- ful, prepares to talce her throne. She is surprised to find Spring and her Winds under the subjec- tion of the King of Winter. The King explains that the people are content with his reign and MBE proposes to continue as their ruler. The Queen suggests that the Nations be called in to decide, and having finished their dances they indicate their choice by taking their places at either the throne of Winter or of May. When the last Nation has made its choice the King, realizing that he has lost the contest, gives his scepter to the Queen. Ar the Queenis command, he releases Spring and retires, followed by jack Frost and his Snowfiakes. Spring coming out of her bonds, dances for joy, calling in the sunshine, butterflies, and Howers to celebrate the victory of their beloved Queen. At the end of the dance, Spring crowns the Queen with a coronet of fiowers. The cele- bration is completed by a dance around the May- pole.
